About this show
When a disgraced director launches a show to secure his return to the spotlight, he will spill the secrets of some powerful people he ought not to f*ck with. Boasting divas, deceit and Sarah-Jessica from HR – Swan Song bristles with comedic absurdity! With a distinctly abstract and whacky style, this show promises to bring fun, drama and much-needed criticism of mainstream media to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe!
